It does, but the carts are not designed to work at those addresses. And, 
if you are modding the cart to work at such an address, simply drive 
*SLENB low when the cart needs to be accessed.  So, the mod to move the 
address can also fix the issue.

Again, the additional PIA cart can simply bring SLENB low when they need 
to be accessed.  Done.

I'm not disputing your overall idea, but I do not believe fixing it 
requires anything so substantial.
